"suppliers"


          

I am starting a wedding accessories business and am having
trouble finding suppliers.  Everything I find on the internet
is some company wanting a fee to find you manufacturers.  How
do I find them myself without paying a fee?

You can go to the Thomas Register, or just keyword specific items you're looking for and you should be able to come up with quite a list.

A good way to find suppliers is to get a bridal magazine and find other bridal companys that carry the products you are going to carry. Then google the product manufactures. That should help you a little.

Have you tried just going to google and entering "wedding wholesale" ?
The Floral Supply Syndicate has some wedding items, and an online store that you can look at, so does Best Buy Floral.

Melanie,

Google is a great start for researchingfor vendors. I found this one that seems to be free info on suppliers: http://www.fgmarket.com/Wedding-Supplies/

Also keep in mind you may want to look outside of the US for your suppliers. Importing from China or India may be more cost effective for certain wedding supplies.

Hope this helps.

Consider joining a national industry association (like a wedding planner association) and attending one of their conventions - there will be many potential vendors there, displaying their wares, and trying to find YOU to get your business.
